If you want to get rid of a rival business just have President Obama give them a visit, eventually they will go out of business.

So tired of reading stories like this, doesn't say how many people will lose their jobs (if any, doesn't say so don't know!!) or what kind of problems the brewery, and burger joint mentioned at the beginning were having.

It's a weak attempt at humor... I think Pacquiao getting knocked out cold after meeting Romney is more funny... and ironic.

But I don't think that's funny at all... or ironic.

Re: Obama the Business Killer

Restaurants have been going out of business left and right starting with before Obama took office. A huge number of restaurants pretty much run on shoestrings and up or downturns in the economy hit them immediately.

I would guesstimate that about 25% of all our small restaurant clients have closed up shop since the economy collapsed. Possibly higher.

Re: Obama the Business Killer

And a lot probably closed for stupid reasons, like the owners not listening to their managers or their accountants and then blaming everyone else for their problems.

Of course, some small business owners aren't good businesspeople. That goes without saying. But I think people generally assume if you own a restaurant you must make pretty good money. A lot of small restaurants, the owner works 6 or 7 days a week year round, 12 hour days and maybe they're netting 45k a year or something. it can be a lot less than people think. Throw in that the restaurant starts running at a 50k or 75k loss per year and they just can't sustain that and wind up closing up.

Everything is Obama's fault. Everything. He visits a restaurant and it goes out of business.

He is trying to destroy America.

The blizzard is Obama's fault. The hurricane is Obama's fault. The recession and wars are Obama's fault.

Everything is Obama's fault.

If only McCain and Palin were elected in 2008 instead of the Marxist Kenyan Muslim atheist Obama. The country would be a paradise. It would have been a booming economy with poverty, homeless and hunger gone. Obama hates America.

........ooops, sounds like I have Obama Derange Syndrome. Better get it checked out.

Can I give you a ride to the army recruiter so you can bayonet the enemy?

If only Gore and Lieberman were elected in 2000 instead of Bush & Cheney. The country would be a paradise. It would have been a booming economy with poverty, homeless and hunger gone. Bush hated America.

Bush almost destroyed America. President Obama repaired it.

"Heck of a job Brownie" failed at the hurricane Katrina cleanup mess. A Bush appointment.

The Bush Depression and the two wars are the fault of Bush / Cheney. The economy collapsed because of Bush's failed policies and deregulation. Where were the weapons of mass destruction? They lied about that and over 4000 Americans are dead because of their lies. Bush ignored the warnings about 9/11. The Bin Laden family are friends with the Bush Crime Syndicate.

Gore and Lieberman won the election. Bush was appointed by the Supreme Court. Gore would have been a much better President. Dubya was the worst President in history and republicans are aware of it. They've swept him under the rug and don't talk about him anymore.

And because you edited my litany, you have displayed you have Obama Derangement Syndrome also.

Not in the least. :)

If Gore and Lieberman won the election, then they would have been President/Vice President, period. The Supreme court shut down a corrupted vote recount. My opinion.

Bob, the election of 2000 is over .... it's over 12 years 'over'.

From what we know about Gore now ... America made the correct decision.

Actually your correction was basically correct. You intended to be sarcastic but everything you put in there was more or less the truth, hating America would be the only debatable part.

It wasn't sarcasm. It's how dems/liberals think and will always think, it will always be Bush's fault no matter what.

How would you know what "dems/liberals" always think unless you're one of them?

So you don't believe Bush / Cheney are responsible for the failed Katrina cleanup, Iraq and Afghanistan wars and the economic collapse?
